Vehicle Theft leads to multiple charges; overnight felony arrests

Boise, May 19, 2010 - Boise Police arrested two
people last night and charged them with multiple counts related to
a vehicle burglary. Detectives are investigating as evidence found
also indicates the suspects may have been involved in other recent
car burglaries.

Boise Police responded to a citizen's report of a
vehicle burglary in the area of S. 2nd St. and W. Front
Street at approx 11:30 p.m. last night, Tuesday, May
18th. The victim told officers that between 10:00 p.m. and
11:00 p.m. someone had smashed in the front passenger window of her
vehicle and stole a purse that was sitting in the front seat. The
purse contained several credit cards along with various personal
items.

While investigating, another citizen came up to
officers and handed them a wallet the citizen reported they had
found nearby that may or may not be connected to the
crime. Following up, officers found the wallet belonged to Tyson J.
Anderson. After further investigation, officers found the stolen
purse and it's contents in the car belonging to Anderson's
girlfriend, suspect Kelsey Tweedt. Officers later contacted
Anderson. Officers believe Anderson is the one who broke into the
vehicle and stole the purse that was found in Tweedt's car. Both
Anderson and Tweedt were booked into the Ada County Jail on the
above charges.

During their investigation, officers found other
evidence that may indicate the two suspects have been involved in
previous thefts. That investigation is ongoing.

Arrested: Valerie F. Taddicken, 31, Boise

Charge: Burglary (F)

Boise Police were contacted by a retailer in the
area of Franklin & Milwaukee at approx 5:22 p.m. yesterday.
Witnesses told officers the suspect, Taddicken, had stolen two
candy bars from the store. She was found with scissors that
officers believe the suspect had brought from home for the purpose
of committing the crime.

law, it's not the value of the items stolen, but the suspect's
criminal intent, or the suspects plans to enter the store with
the intention of committing the theft that makes the crime a
felony.
